Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Enabling Mobility and Upper Limb Function

19 Mar 2025
Keynote Stage

FES has become a standard intervention in neurological rehabilitation and is supported by many National Clinical Guidelines. This session will review the clinical application of FES and its evidence for improving walking following MS, stroke, spinal cord injury and Parkinson’s. We will discuss new developments and techniques to adapt FES to suit the needs of a diverse range of patient presentations, including multi-channel applications. We will introduce the new triggered upper limb functional training device for stroke and SCI, and give an update of the progress of the STEPS II project, the multi-centre randomised controlled trial for the use of FES in Parkinson’s.
